Quiet Valley’s Farm to Table Food Tasting Experience
Enjoy an evening visit to the farm as we celebrate our fifth annual Farm to Table Experience on Saturday September 2nd between 4:00pm and 6:30pm. At this special fundraiser there will be four food tastings at various areas of the farm. There you can savor samples of this year’s featured fare and learn a little of the history behind these particular foods.
At the Workshop building Dairy will be the featured food so imagine items made using butter, cheese and cream. Guests can sample a delicious Cream of Cauliflower soup, and explore other dairy treats (dare we think ice cream?). Peppers, sweet through spicy, take center stage in the One Room School where we will discover more about the varieties of the past as well as current selections. Nibble on cabbage family treats by the Garden as you explore this staple in the diet of the early farm families. There is more to cabbage than sauerkraut. While there information on the fall garden will be shared. At the Bake Oven enjoy the tastes of apples with a sweet recipe as you learn more about this king of fruits. A harvest activity will precede or end your visit to the Farm to Table Experience and take time while you are here to meet some of the farm animals.
From 4:00 to 6:30pm small groups will go out every 20 minutes with the last one going at 6:30pm. The Farm to Table Experience takes place rain or shine. This is an excellent way to connect with local food sources and try out some new recipes without having to do the cooking. Enough food is shared to be considered a light supper so plan to come for a special date night. The food tasting takes about an hour and a half and is $20.00 per adult, $10.00 for children 3 -10. Call the farm at 570-992-6161 to reserve your tickets. Space is limited so don’t delay.
Evening is a lovely time on the farm so come and support Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm at this unique fundraiser and enjoy the delectable tastes of summer’s bounty.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - August 20
First around-the-world telegram sent, 66 years before Voyager II launch - 1911
On this day in 1911, a dispatcher in the New York Times office sends the first telegram around the world via commercial service. Exactly 66 years later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sends a different kind of message–a phonograph record containing information about Earth for extraterrestrial beings–shooting into space aboard the unmanned spacecraft Voyager II.
The Times decided to send its 1911 telegram in order to determine how fast a commercial message could be sent around the world by telegraph cable. The message, reading simply “This message sent around the world,” left the dispatch room on the 17th floor of the Times building in New York at 7 p.m. on August 20. After it traveled more than 28,000 miles, being relayed by 16 different operators, through San Francisco, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Saigon, Singapore, Bombay, Malta, Lisbon and the Azores–among other locations–the reply was received by the same operator 16.5 minutes later. It was the fastest time achieved by a commercial cablegram since the opening of the Pacific cable in 1900 by the Commercial Cable Company.
On August 20, 1977, a NASA rocket launched Voyager II, an unmanned 1,820-pound spacecraft, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was the first of two such crafts to be launched that year on a “Grand Tour” of the outer planets, organized to coincide with a rare alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Aboard Voyager II was a 12-inch copper phonograph record called “Sounds of Earth.” Intended as a kind of introductory time capsule, the record included greetings in 60 languages and scientific information about Earth and the human race, along with classical, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll music, nature sounds like thunder and surf, and recorded messages from President Jimmy Carter and other world leaders.

Book review.........
The Lost City of the Monkey God
book by Douglas Preston
review by Jill Silvius
Preston’s account is not so much a tale of a contemporary search for a disappeared “White City” in Honduras as it is a collection of mini-narratives and essays related to the fabled “Lost City of the Monkey God.” Preston tells the tale of a group of scientists (plus himself, author of nonfiction and the Agent Pendergast novels [with Lincoln Child], among other fictional works) who travel to the jungle in 2012 to map the terrain, but also the history of the “myth” and the history of earlier explorers.
It is Preston’s story - of the 2012 exploration - that the reader might find most interesting. The book “gets going” one-third of the way in, as Preston's rickety plane lands and he describes huge, venomous fer-de-lance snakes and the forest floor crawling with cockroaches and spiders. The scientists use expensive lidar technology, which allows them to see beneath the expansive greenery. The description of this technology is also captivating.
The author also raises an interesting question spawned by the scientists’ discovery of a “cache” of objects indicating prior existence of at least two thriving cities at “T1” and “T3.” The oddly virulent response from some of the scientific community to the announcement of T1’s mapping leads him to ask: what are the distinctions between treasure hunting and archaeology?
Post-exploration, Preston and a number of his fellow searchers get very ill. He discovers he has contracted leishmaniasis, which is spread via sand flies infected with parasites. He draws attention to the dangers of the disease and, sadly, the little attention that vaccine-production companies give to it. Of being a parasitologist, he writes: “Your extremely expensive, ten-year medical education gives you the privilege of working long hours for modest pay among the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world, encountering a staggering amount of misery and death” (251). He ends the book discussing the biology of the disease, its treatments, its growing spread across the United States, and the potential for disease to wipe out civilization as we know it.
The Lost City of the Monkey God is slow at times, captivating at others. Overall, an interesting read!
